Display/Process Initial values

Hi,
I have the following delemma: with data binding, BSP input fields that are blank on the screen will ultimately be assigned internally ABAP initial values. For instance, take fields of type time. The conversion from internal format to string gives 00:00:00 for initial values. BUT, 00:00:00 means also midnight. And in the same way, a blank value in a time field is interpreted as initial (00:00:00). So, if an application is trying to retrieve some objects and is indifferent to the time, it will not be possible to know whether the user didn't enter anything or whether he enterred midnight.
The same problem exists for some other data types...
Any idea how to solve this?
Cheers,
Armand

Hi,
Thank you very much for your quick answer. However, my problem resides in the fact that I am developing a framework and I ultimately have to pass to the applications that use this framework a structure, over which I have no control. The interface parameters of method QUERY are like this:
IV_SCREEN_STRUCTURE_NAME Importing Type CRMT_BSP_SCRSTRUCNAME
<b>IS_SCREEN_STRUCTURE</b> Importing Type ANY
As you can see, my framework doesn't have control over the type/content of parameter <i>IS_SCREEN_STRUCTURE</i>. And the application that implement this method cannot know if a time component inside this parameter has been assigned a value (midnight) or if that value is an initial value resulting from the fact that the framework used the technique you suggested to avoid assigning any value (!?!?:-)...

Armand

Cl_SALV_TABLE : display of initial values!

Hi All,
I do have to display some time fields in my alv table itab_alv.
I'm filling the table according to a corresponding select record are stored in itab_infty_2001...
loop at itab_infty_2001.
wa_alv-beguz = itab_infty_2001-beguz.
endloop.
if there is no entries in my select itab_infty_2001, the content of the time fields is not assigned and it is displayed as '00:00:00' but when there is an empty record. the field is displayed with no content!
I would like the alv to not display this 00:00:00... and nothing instead...
I did try the no_zero for the column of the fields catalog without success...
Any clues ?

hi,
check for the entry '00:00:00' and if it exists assign SPACE to it teh respective field

WEB DYNPRO ALV GRID : CELL CONTENT - Initial Value

I created a sort of 'Timesheet' in web dynpro...
Unfortunatly, for all days of the month it displays '0.00' as initial value...
Is it possible to not display this initial value or display space/empty ?
In gui alv it is possible, I don't know if it could be done in web dynpro

Hi,
For the node to which the ALV is bound. For the column (context attribute) check the property of the attribute check the formatting propertioes as ZEROS AS BLANKS
for ex: price is the context attrbiute check the properties.
This FORMATTING options for the context attribute is found in the latest verions like EHP4.

Initial values in query using multidimensional authorizations

Hi,
so far reading here through the topics helped solving my issues, but know I have a problem with displaying the initial values in a query using multidimensional authorizations. We use BI 7 and have to user the authorization check from BW 3.5 (rsr).
Following situation:
- We have a two infoobjects "CLUST" and "P_CLUST" referencing to the infoobject "M_COSTELM" and using the same hierarchies.
- The user should either see a specific value of CLUST and all values of P_CLUST or a specific value of P_CLUST and all values of CLUST in the reports. The values of CLUST and P_CLUST he's allowed to see are the same.
- The role is declared as following:
CLUST: * + P_CLUST [] + auth.object for CLUST
PCLUST: * + CLUST [] + auth.object for PCLUST
- Only one of those two infoobjects has to be set with a value in the query.
Using the role as above and running a query, the rights management is working fine and the user only see's what he's allowed to.
But when the user open's the query he see's the whole hierarchie in the inital values on the left and not only those nodes and leafs he should see.
For example:
Hierarchie "costelm_hier"
ALL_NODES
- FIRST NODE
- FN_LEAF 1
- FN_LEAF 2
- SECOND NODE
- SN_LEAF 1
- SN_LEAF 2
The user is allowed to see the FIRST_NODE and it's leafs in CLUST and P_CLUST.
When he now open's a query with CLUST as the input-ready infoobject, in the initial values he see's the whole hierarchie and not only the FIRST_NODE with it's leafs.
When then browsing through the tree and selecting the FIRST_NODE, in the query, the restrictions are working fine. He can see the FIRST_NODE in the infoobject CLUST and every values in P_CLUST. Also vice versa.
As it's more user-friendly I only want the user to see the nodes and leafs he's has in his role.
I also tried using an exit variable with the function 'RSSB_GET_AUTHS_FILTERED', but without success.
Hope u understand me so far!?
Thanks for your support!

SQL and PL/SQL FAQ

F4 help needed in Process on value-request

Hi,
I have two fields on screen: region and its description in a dialog program. I want region description to be populated as soon as I select F4 help for region. Description field is output only . I want to do it using a module in Process On value-request. Field p_region MODULE GET_REGION_DESCRIPTION.
Using standard F4 help I can do it. If in my table I assign search help at field level for region. For example :
Search Help: ZREGION_SHLP. Selection method: ZREGION. Fields: Region and Description.
Table name : ZREGION.
i) 1st Fields: REGION , Data Element - ZREGN, Domain: ZZREGN ( CHAR2), Value table: ZREGN. Assign Search help at field level instead of data element level.
ii) 2nd Field: REGION_DESC, Data Element - BEZEI30.
in program: DATA: p_region like zregion-region. So if I press F4 help and select one region, description field gets populated.
I don't want to use standard functionality but want to write code in POV event. If I use F4IF_INT_TABLE_VLUE_REQUEST function module, I will get all the values associated with the field region. Since I don't know which region user has selected, i can't populate description. How to get the selected value in POV for that particular field. How can I get the value selected for region and then use DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE function module to update the description field. I tried search help exit event return to return the selected value. How to pass that value in POV module as you cannot use FORM ENDFORM . inside MODULE ENDMODULE.
Regards,
DPM

1st step is:
choose screen 2000 for the program using t-code se80.
at the end of the coding enter the below code:
process ON VALUE-REQUEST.
FIELD screen field name module f4_zsearchhelp.
after typing the code double click on f4_zsearch help.
it ll ask for includes, Choose as main program.
then enter the below code after choosing:
DATA : t_dynpro_value TYPE TABLE OF dynpread,
v_field_value LIKE LINE OF t_dynpro_value,
lt_fields TYPE TABLE OF dfies,
t_return_str TYPE TABLE OF ddshretval,
w_return_str TYPE ddshretval,
v_text TYPE char25.
DATA: t_ty_prov_id TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_prov_id,
w_ty_prov_id TYPE ty_prov_id.
CLEAR: t_ty_prov_id], w_ty_prov_id, t_return_str[, w_return_str.
enter the select query from the description table to get the description for the particular code.
in this i had mentioned with an example that i m getting description for massg :
p9001-massg ll have the value and v_text ll have the description.

Inventory management process key values plz

Hi gurus,
can anyone help me with the process key values
in my update rules i have this for issues
process keys= 100,101,104,105,106,110
and for receipts 000,001,004,005,006,010
what do they mean i am using the standard update rules
its very urgent becoz i am getting the stock values wrong
thanks and regards
neelu

hi Neel,
check oss note 352344 - Process key + reversals in Inventory Management ?
Symptom
This note is a consulting note and describes the use of the process key (0PROCESSKEY) in Inventory Management (MSEG). It focusses on the way the system deals with reversed transactions for DataSources 2lis_40_s279 and 2lis_03_bf.
To be able to use theses DataSources, you ABSOLUTELY MUST activate the transaction key generation (process key, PROCESSKEY) using Transaction MCB_ (from the OLTP IMG for BW: SBIW) (standard, retail or consumption goods).
The following transaction keys are available
(PROCESSKEY/Appl. Component/Description):
000/MM        Misc. receipts
001/MM        Goods receipt / vendor
004/MM        Article transfer posting receipt
005/MM        Stock correction inventory +
006/MM        Stock correction other +
007/IS-R      Receipt value-only article (single article
              posting)
010/MM        Receipt from stock transfer
002/IS-R      Merchandise clearing receipt
003/IS-R      GR from DC
100/MM        Misc. issues
101/MM        Returns / Vendor
104/MM        Article transfer posting issue
105/MM        Stock correction inventory -
106/MM        Stock correction other -
107/IS-R      Issue value-only article (single article
              posting)
110/MM        Issue from stock transfer
102/IS-R      Merchandise clearing issue
103/IS-R      GI from DC
450/IS-R      Generic Article (not relevant)
Remark: Transaction keys 002/003, 102/103 break down the core keys 010/110 in more detail with respect to retail processes. They are only available in an R/3 Retail.
As you can see in the overview, the transaction keys can be divided according to receipts and issues in Inventory Management. Furthermore, the transaction keys are displayed according to reversed and regular transactions.
A regular receipt has a debit/credit indicator "S" (SHKZG, 0DCINDIC), whereas a regular issue has a debit/credit indicator "H".
For reverse transactions the opposite is true.
Transaction                            D/C ind.   D/C ind.
                                        S          H

0 Misc. receipts                        regular    reversed

110 Issue from stock transfer         reversed   regular
Note: You can also recognize a reversal for DataSource 2lis_03_bf by means of the entry 0STORNO = ´X´. The fields that are marked with X in the table are then transferred with negative +/- sign. This was not the case with DataSource 2LIS_40_S279!!! In the case of DataSource 2LIS_40_S279 more logic was required in the BW update rules to make sure that key figures were updated correctly.
Example:
In the delivered InfoCubes 0CP_IC_C1 (CP) and 0RT_C01 (Retail), for example in key "Stock correction +", transaction keys 5 and 6 were grouped together. Furthermore, distinction is to be made between the different stock types. Depending on which stock types you want to distinguish between in different key figures, you must use a corresponding condition (IF statement) in the update rules in the BW.
Example (pseudo source code):
Updating Routine "stock adjustment +" for 2lis_02_bfIF ( STOCKCAT is initial ) AND         "Evaluated stocks ( PROCESSKEY = 5 OR PROCESSKEY = 6 )._ RESULT = TRANS_AMOUNT. RETURNCODE = 0.    "Updating Key figureELSE. RETURNCODE = 4.    "No Updating of KeyfigureENDIF.
The pseudo source code for 2LIS_40_S279 read as follows:
Updating Routine "stock adjustment +" for 2lis_40_s279IF ( STOCKCAT is initial ) AND         "Evaluated stocks ( PROCESSKEY = 5 OR PROCESSKEY = 6 ).    IF DCINDIC = 'S'.      RESULT = TRANS_AMOUNT.    "regular    ELSE.      RESULT = -1 * TRANS_AMOUNT.    ENDIF.    RETURNCODE = 0.    "Updating Key figureELSE.     RETURNCODE = 4.    "No Updating of KeyfigureENDIF.
Here, the debit/credit indicator must be checked in accordance with the table above. Transactions 5 and 6 are receipts in Inventory Management. As the debit/credit indicator is set to "S", it is a regular transaction whose value(TRANS_AMOUNT) is assigned to the key figure. In the other case (debit/credit indicator = "H") it is a reversal, that is, the transaction should reverse a transaction that has already been updated. For this, the value is multiplied by -1 so that a corresponding decrease/reduction of this key figure is achieved during the update of the key figure in the InfoCube.
This logic is no longer required for the 2LIS_03_BF (see first pseudo source code), because the reversed quantity and values are automatically provided as negative with the help of the 0STORNO field.
Using this DataSource 2LIS_03_BF, it is for example possible to create a key figure such as "Reversed receipts", which is not a part of the Business Content delivered. The following pseudo source code of an update routine makes this clear:
Update routine "Reversed receipts"
IF ( PROCESSKEY = 1 ) AND   (STORNO = ´X` ) "Reverse     RESULT = -1 * TRANS_AMOUNT.     RETURNCODE = 0.ELSE.     RETURNCODE = 4.      "no update of key figure!ENDIF.
Note: For DataSource 2LIS_40_S279 the pseudo source code read as follows:
Update routine "Reversed receipts"
for 2LIS_40_S279IF ( PROCESSKEY = 1 ) AND   ( DCINDIC = H ) "Reverse     RESULT = TRANS_AMOUNT.     RETURNCODE = 0.ELSE.   RETURNCODE = 4.      "no update of key figure!ENDIF.
To be able to understand the overall scheme more comprehensively, you should have a look at the update rules of the Standard Business Content for retail or consumption goods (for example InfoCubes 0RT_C01 or 0CP_IC_C1).

Equivalent for 'process on value-request' in WDA ?

Hello again,
i have one more requirement in building a wda-gui for an existing transaction.
In the flow-logic of the SAPGUI-transaction we have an event 'process on value-request', it is triggered when a user pushes the F4-Button or clicks onto the icon belonging to the InputField.
I need to have an equivalent in WDA.
Any ideas / workarounds ? Is perhaps OVS a possible way ?
Thanks a lot !

Hi Andreas,
You can achieve this functionality by specifying the Input help mode property of the attribute to which you are binding your input field. You can choose among the various possibilities as Dictionary Search Help/Object Value Selector/User-Defined Programming. You can even just leave it as Automatic to allow the system take care of the search help to be displayed. No matter which option you use among the above quoted ones you would be able to get your search help. You need to go for OVS only when,
"Say, for example, the value help should take into account or fill multiple input fields of your view composition. However, the different input fields are related to different value nodes, which in turn refer to different ABAP Dictionary structures. ABAP Dictionary search helps are not able to fulfill this task, since the maximum scope of such a search help is the structure to which it is related. "
The OVS component offers an interface that can:
1) Receive information about which input fields should be displayed on the selection screen,
2) Receive information about the initial values of these input fields
3) Hand back the user's input into these input fields
4) Receive the result from the data retrieval in order to display the list
5) Hand back the selected data set to the consumer program
(The above has been quoted from the SAP's standard guide)

Problem setting initial value for LOV

Hello, everyone. This seems like it should be simple, but it's giving me lots of problems. I am trying to create my first LOV. I have a messageLovInput item called PFedFilingStatus. From the Property Inspector, I can set an Initial Value of "02", which displays when I run the page, and lets me change it and validate it using the associated LOV.
What I would rather do is set the initial value programmatically, but here are my problems:
If I set the value like this:
OAMessageLovInputBean lovText = (OAMessageLovInputBean)pageLayout.findIndexedChildRecursive("PFedFilingStatus");
lovText.setText("02");
then the field displays properly at run time, but can't be changed. The LOV runs, but any value I select flips back to "02"
If I set the value like this:
lovText.setDefaultValue("02");
then nothing seems to happen at run time. The value is not displayed at all.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks for your help.
--Dave

Yes, that helps a bunch. Now can you tell me where that is set?
Thanks so much.

I have created a web template in the WAD (BI 70) with a dropdown box on a characteristic. A chart is displayed based on the query result. My query is built on an infoset.
My problem is to populate the filter with an initial value and still let users change the characteristic value in the dropdown (all values for the characteristic is not acceptable in the context) . Also, I don't want the variable screen to show up.
What is the best approach to achieve this?
Thanks,
JL

In Query Designer you put in your default value in the area to the right in the first pane..
If you put it on the left hand side, the filter will not be changeable.
Hope this helps.
Can give more presise answer if you need it.

How to get initial value of Child View from Parent View in ADF?

Hi,
I am typically from a Oracle forms background and new to ADF.
In ADF,how can I populate the initial value for a new record in child view from the parent view?
For example.. using standard Departments and Employees tables which has parent child relation ship.
If I want to create a new employee.. how do I get the initial value for department_id of my employee record(employee table) from departments table in ADF?
Thanks in advance
Vishnu

USer, please tell us your jdev version!
If you have setup the data model in a way that it reflects this relationship (should be automatic if you use the 'create business components from table' wizard) this is pretty easy.
To check this, open the application module and select the data model. On the right side you see departments view and under it indented the employees view. This indent shows you that the employees view is a child of the departments view. This is all you nee for the model layer.
In the UI you open the datacontrol and open the departments view. One node it the employees view (as child). Now, if you work on a department (e.g. you drag the department view onto a page and drop it as form), you can add a button to create a new child (employee) by opening the employee node in department and drag the createInsert operation onto the page and drop it as button.
Then create a new page and drop the employees view (the child from departments view) on to the page and drop it as form. This form will then display the new row for thew employee of hte department.
Last thing to do is to add anavigation case from the departments page to the employees page and select this on the CreateInsert button.
The form should have the DepartmentId pre-selected.

How to display Process name in UWL

Hi All,
I have integrated the GP and UWL and now I want to display process name in the UWL tasl list(instead of action name).
Thanks
Raja

If you use Contacts or the Address Book in Outlook, you can specify that a given record is shown under Company Name instead of First/Last name, but you need a PC for that, you cannot do that from iOS unless a third party app provides that functionality.
(Caption from Contacts in OS X 10.10.1: ticking the "Company" checkbox the contact will be shown as the value under Company field)
